 You'd think the actual problem must be that the discs are 
 becoming unreadable, or that kind of LD player is hard to find
 or maintain, or that there was some custom controller that's 
It was an Acorn SCSI controller inside the Twin-CPU BBC Master that
connected to the LV-ROM transport, and even the transport was a bog-standard
Philips Laserdisc player; granted with some extra gubbins on the bottom for
SCSI access to the transport.
Greenweld electronics (www.greenweld.co.uk) are still selling the Philips
Laserdisc player in question for ukp30.

Oh, and up until recently the London Science Museum had a working Domesday
setup....
